"Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Jalen Williams has a right hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in "a couple of weeks," a significant loss for the defending NBA champions. The 6-foot-6 Williams was named an All-Star last season for the first time and was selected all-defensive second-team and All-NBA third-team. He is averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists this season and has helped the Thunder compile a league-best 35-8 record."
"He was hurt during the second quarter of Saturday's 122-120 loss at Miami. The team said then that he had right thigh soreness, though he grabbed his right hamstring as he limped off the court. On Monday, the Thunder said they would "see where Jalen Williams is at with his right hamstring strain in a couple of weeks." Williams missed the first month of the season while recovering from wrist surgery."
Jalen Williams suffered a right hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in a couple of weeks. The 6-foot-6 guard/forward averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists this season while helping the Thunder to a league-best 35-8 record. Williams was an All-Star, earned all-defensive second-team and All-NBA third-team honors last season. He was injured in the second quarter of a 122-120 loss at Miami after appearing to grab his right hamstring. Williams previously missed the first month recovering from wrist surgery and had started all 24 games he played before this injury. Ajay Mitchell is expected to absorb most of his minutes and playmaking duties.
